I appear to have joined the ranks of lurgy. Felt rough on Sunday, didn't go work Monday or Tuesday, couldn't face it, went in today but still feel lousy. Hot chocolate and an early night

Enough of this lethargy! Tomorrow, I am creating two, yes two, fruit cakes!

Tomorrow morning my boss is flying to Spain from East Midlands Airport, hope the snow stays away, she needs a break.

The formula 1 testing at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona had to be cancelled due to snow.

I had lunch with my wife and niece. They had some sort of Italian chicken sandwich, and I had a Cuban sandwich. Looks rainy now, I'm glad I got my ride in early today, whilst it was still sunny.

Sounds a bit like this recipe then... The one for Amblongus Pie, though there's no gin involved.

That's a Norfolk recipe. I use dried fruit!

Well, the snow finally arrived here. All 2cm of it. Lexi's been out a few times, but Poppy flatly declined the offer.

I swept the path three times in between snow showers. It's fine in the shade, but where the sun's hit it, it's gone to sheet ice. While I'd really love having my own curling rink, it's not in the most practical of places, so I have spread ash on the slippy bits so's I don't go arse over tit.

The porch and the car are wearing some rather fetching icicles.

You don't see them very often, we used to get some really big ones years ago.

Needs to be just right for them to get to a decent size - sun to melt the snow, but the air temperature to be cold enough to freeze the run-off. Got some in the 6 to 8 inch territory.
